    If an adult working at a music shop sees a teen who's into the same stuff they are, no way they'd pull that kinda stunt. They'd start gushing over the band and asking what their favorite album or song is because people _like it_ when younger people are fans of the stuff they like.

    also: the made up slur, the "villain" being a gay man, the bit about him "forcing his sexuality on a sex-repulsed ace person", etc. it all reeks specifically of people i saw a lot in instagram discourse circles, who were convinced ace people are all homophobic and "just straight people pretending to be oppressed". and their "proof" was like. three ancient tumblr screenshots they kept circulating and reposting. but they'd also try to aggressively gatekeep who did and didn't count as ace for some fcking reason. overall, not a good experience for a questioning ace. probably put me back a few years in coming to terms with my sexuality lol

    The furry high school story doesn't seem *that* unlikely to me, taking rumor into account. If it's based on real events, it was maybe more like:
    1. There's a group of weird furry friends who wear tails to school (is that really unbelievable in a highschool?)
    2. One of them gets bullied (at high school? Surely not! /s)
    3. He makes a vague gun threat to seem tough, doesn't actually do it, but probably gets suspended (or maybe expelled) and rumors circulate that the furry brought a gun to school. Rumors about guns at school were a yearly occurrence when I was at high school.
    4. After this, furries start getting harrassed more and someone makes up the buttplug rumor to humiliate one of them.
    It's not *that* out there, as far as fake stories go.

      Yeah in the middle school I went to there was a kid who had a fox tail and ears in his backpack which he sometimes wore (And was bullied for it), 1 and 2 seem completely plausible.

      I get I'm nine months late butI can confirm the furry story is very realistic. At my high school there was a group of three furries, a girl and two guys. They would wear weird clip on tails or ear-bands whenever they could get away with it. One of them did end up threatening to shoot up the school (I lived in the UK, so he was obviously just being edgy). I think the other boy (but it could have been the same one) literally tried to start gay sex in the locker rooms? (This might have been a rumor, but it was taken seriously enough he was called into the head teachers office. And the girl of the group actually became my gf.
      So yeah, most parts of the story are extremely credible.

      The story isn't genuine. It's by crazy-acey-in-spacey, who made a whole slew of these pro-ace fake fake tumblr stories. But a lot of the tropes (anti-sex Puritanism disguised as ace-inclusion, invoking "queer elders" who are ace-inclusionists) are tropes common in the REAL ace-inclusionist tumblr fake stories. Only other big trope this one is missing is "asexuals at Pride" discourse.
      So crazy-acey-in-spacey is wrong & bad for making fake tumblr fake stories to invite harassment on ace-inclusionists. But genuine ace-inclusive discourse already had a lot of anti-sex homophobia in it such that cais didn't need to make the blog. And I'm apparently the real loser here for knowing the difference.

    The furry story is also falling into a complete misunderstanding of how those tails work
    Like, the plug tails go into your butt, obviously. But the tails you wear go around a belt loop on the waist, usually around the spine's end where a tail would be. It would be immediately, visually obvious if you were wearing one or the other in about 99% of situations even if we ignore all the other absurdity in that story

So they concoct elaborate stories about being both incredibly open about themselves and also 'winning' as a kind of self-soothing. Like the way people think they sound good singing in the shower.

    I can tell solely from the writing style that anti-furry guy is a raging Homestuck
    nobody uses that many long words nobody's ever heard of other than Homestucks. unless you're writing an essay and need to pad out the word count.

      "I am able to discern solely by his method of taking diction that the person to whom furrys are most objectionable is a passionate consumer of Homestuck.
      There is not a solitary other soul who would utilize such obscure verbosity other than a fanatical devotee of said media project, 'else they find their written report deficient in length."

      @@itsafish3235 People who don't experience something sometimes think those that do are attention seekers. Often ace people deal with "Of course you have sexual attraction you just haven't met the one" "You'll change your mind someday trust me you'll be enjoying it like the rest of us." Which both of these grossly misrepresent ace people. The first one would be treating them as Demisexual with "the one" as is hurting Ace and demi people with ace being represented as "one day you will" and erasing Demi from being a struggle because "you eventually found them." There's a lot of hate for Ace people especially by sexually proud people who feel as though Ace people are just prudes. People who are asexual can still have sex. They do not feel the urge or attraction to do so but they can decide to. That would be a sex positive ace who is just as Ace as the complete opposite who would be grossed out by the thought of sex.

    I was never a tumblr person, and definitely not a fake story person, but that speech at the end really hit home. I was definitely a Homestuck kid back in 2012-14, so obsessed that it consumed my entire life, and a lot of it did stem from the fact that that was the only community in which I felt I actually _belonged._ I suffered from several mental illnesses and had no real friends. A lot of the ridiculousness really did come from a place of pain and loneliness. Now, I'm medicated and have a loving circle of people who support me and _want_ me, and the obsessions have just. . . gone. They don't happen anymore.
    I know this stuff isn't meant to really be that deep, but the ending of this video hit home. I hope everyone else who was a part of these obsessive cultures back in the early 2010s is doing okay now. I hope everybody got to find their tribe.
    Be well, everyone.
